sum total of all individuals, institutions and
other forces that lie outside a business
enterprise but that may influence its functioning
and performance.

“ Business Environment is the composition of


those forces that affect the performance of the
organization but over these forces the
organization has little control.

Business environment is aggregative in nature
because it is the sum total of all things external
to a business enterprise.
2. General and Specific
Forces
General forces such as economic, social, political,
legal and technological conditions indirectly
influence all business enterprises.
Specific forces such as investors,
customers, competitors and suppliers
influence individual enterprise directly.
3.
Interrelatedness
Different
: elements of business
environment are interrelated.
For example,
Health care Awareness has led to
increase in the demand for health foods
and health resorts. New health products
and services.
4. Mutual
dependence
Different components of business
environment are inter dependent.
Economic forces affects Non economic
forces.
Business is basically an economic activity,
economic environment of business both
national and international gets
importance.
The economic environment of the country includes
economic system, stages of business cycle, financial
system and economic policies of the government.

Non-economic environment includes political system,


government policies, legal framework social system,
cultural values, demographic factors, technological
development and natural environment of the country.
5.
Complexity :
Business environment is complex - consists
of several interrelated elements which keep
on changing.
For example, it is difficult to know the impact
of economic, social, political, technological
and other forces on changes in demand for a
product or service.

Rising price of Petrol and Diesel


Rising price of Automobiles
Rising price of Health care products
Medical expenses
6. Dynamic :

BE is not static, keeps on


changing.
Entry of new competitors
Development of new
technology,
Preferences of consumers

Uncertain :
because it is very difficult to predict future
events particularly changes in technology
and fashion which occur fast and
frequently.
8.
Relatively :
Business environment is a relative concept
as it differs from country to country and
even from region to region.

Example,
Demand for sarees is quite high is India
but almost non-existent in Japan.
Political conditions in India differ from
those in Iraq.
Essential services are more cheaper in
India then other foreign countries.

:
BE has several dimensions  MICRO - MACRO
10. Diversity:
BE is diverse - multifaceted in nature
Business environment is multifaceted as it
is an opportunity for some but a threat for
others. Changes may be viewed differently by
different individuals. Early identification of
opportunities helps an enterprise to have the
first mover advantage and tap the opportunities
at the earliest.
11.Non-
controllable:
The factors and forces that constitutes BE
are beyond the control of single
organinsation.

FEEDBACK
IMPORTANCE OF
Business Environment
Q. Why environment is important for business
firms?
It is Important for business firms to understand their
environment and changes occurring in it because Business
enterprises which know their environment and are ready to
ADAPT to environmental changes would be successful.

On the other hand, firms which fail to adapt to their environment


are unlikely to survive in the long run.
Creates opportunities for expansion and growth through opening
of new markets, technological advancements, increase in
population and incomes, etc.
1. Business enterprises which know their
environment and are ready to adapt to
environmental changes would be successful and
firms which fail to adapt to their environment are
unlikely to survive in the long run.

Example - some Indian firms suffered


considerably
because they failed to appreciate the tightening
regulations against environmental pollution.
2. Knowledge of environmental changes is very
helpful in the formulation and implementation of
business plans which can obtained through
environmental scanning (SWOT)
With the help of environmental scanning, an
enterprise can consider the impact of
different events, trends, issues and
expectations on its business operations

3. Environmental forces create opportunities for


expansion and growth through opening of new
markets, technological advancements, increase in
population and incomes, etc.
Example - the growing demand for cars has led
to tremendous increase in the sales of both
Indian and foreign car firms
4. Environmental forces may act as constraints
such as shortage of critical raw materials, labour
supply, government regulations and so on.

Example - growing competition from multinational


firms forced many small firms in India to sell out.

5. Business enterprises must be managed in


harmony with these forces and institutions so that
they can achieve their objectives

6. It is essential to forecast environmental


conditions before establishing objectives and
formulating strategic plans
For example, a firm manufacturing baby food
must take into account the decline in birth rate
while formulating production and sales plans.

Maruti Udyog  increased the production of Esteem

Lakme took serious steps to improve the quality and


types of products as foreign multinational cosmetics
companies started coming to India after 1991.

'Airtel' identified the need for fast internet and took


first-mover advantage by providing 4G speed to its
users followed by Vodafone and Idea.
3. Customer Focus

EA makes the management sensitive to the


changing needs and expectations of consumers
Hindustan Lever and several other FMCG ( Fast
Moving Consumer Goods) companies launched small

wishes of customers. This move helped the firms to
increase sales.

Many companies invest time and money in extensive


internal communications instructing employees to
put customers first
4. Strategy
Formulation :

environment  serves as the basis for planning and
policy making.

ITC realized that there is a vast scope for growth in


the travel and tourism industry in India and the
Government is keen to promote this industry
because of its employment potential. With the help
of this knowledge, ITC planned new hotels both in
India and abroad.
5. Coping with
changes :

Business leaders need to understand the aspirations
of people and other environmental forces through
environmental scanning.

Contemporary environment requires prompt decision


making and power to people.
Therefore, business leaders are increasingly
delegating Authority to empower the staff and to
Eliminate procedural delays.
6. Public Image / Image

A business firm can improve its image by
showing that it is sensitive to its environment and
responsive to the aspirations of public.
Leading firms like Reliance Industries, ICICI Bank
and others have built good image by being sensitive
and responsive to environmental forces.
Environmental understanding enables business
firms to be responsive to their environment.
Coca-Cola is a brand known for a product best used
at the time of happiness, joy, and good
experience. ...
McDonald's has an image of an
inexpensive brand that serves the food very
quickly.
7. Continuous
learning :
EA provides continuous learning for its managers.

Reliance industries have empowered its managers


to speed up decision making in the highly
competitive environment.

Mukesh Ambani-led Reliance Industries (RIL)


announced a new product called Jio Glass at its 43rd
annual general meeting (AGM). The gizmo is
designed for 3D virtual classrooms and will enable
holographic classes for teachers and students.

EXAMPLES
In the food and beverages industry, restaurant and food
chains are powered by food tech companies with zingy names
like ‘Zomato’ and ‘Swiggy’. These food tech companies provide
the supply chain, enabling even an entrepreneur working from
his kitchen at home to deliver food to homes and offices
anywhere in the city. The food tech sector bounced back and is
offering employment to millions of citizens in India.

The transportation industry has also seen a radical transformation


in India. Cab aggregators like Ola, Uber and Meru do not own any
vehicles. The core of their business is technology that runs on the
cloud, with consumer interfaces in the form of apps installed on
our mobile phones.
Transportation also extends to logistics. Tech like GPS
devices and IoT sensors fitted on trucks are used for fleet
tracking and management.

The hotel industry has also been disrupted (or shall we say
enabled) by technology. Airbnb does not own any hotels
and neither do internet startups like Oyo and Treebo. Yet
they offer rooms at affordable rates and make bookings a
snap for travellers. Booking.com and Travango are other
popular room aggregators.

Flights are now booked through services like Makemytrip,


Cleartrip, Travango .The travel agent was disrupted and
had to remodel his business to survive.
